Jeffrey Scott Perdziak has been doing artwork for as long as he can remember. His first love of the arts were comic books and superheroes when he was young. As school offered more and more art classes, Jeff took every advantage of the education.
After a year of college at R.I.T., taking foundation courses in all elements of art, Jeff started producing more and more artwork for people in his community. Portait drawings, pet portraits, and murals, as well as working on superhero art! You may have seen Jeff at a comic con set up with his art here in WNY.
After several years Jeff started doing murals in the community. One at Clarence Center Elementary, then several at people's homes. The biggest outdoor mural he has done is the “West Shore Railroad” mural in Clarence. 70 ft wide and 18 ft tall!
Soon, came childrens book! Jeff's illustarted 12 children's books over the years. And has done artwork for several novels.
Jeff currently works full-time at Dave and Adam's in Buffalo, doing artwork. Doing sketch cards, painting on autographed baseballs, bats, and footballs for their Hit Parade products. Jeff also has done a great deal of mural work at their retail store.
So basically when Jeff is doing something, it's usually artwork for someone! Unless he's spending time with his wife and family.

The evening my daughter and I first read “Mubu The Morph” our lives forever changed. She is absolutely in love with the character, in his many forms and shapes. Mubu inspires her to be kind to herself and others, and has created a safe space for her to reflect on and remain grounded with. We both are excited to see what’s next for Mubu! Thank you!
